Oh No, Don't Let Me Go

Indigo would never protest Aslatiel’s closeness, the young patient pup relaxed against her grooming and felt at peace. He closed his vivid sapphire eyes as her tongue rolled over the thick fur of his neck. Azure assured him that his hugeness was an attribute but Indy couldn’t help but wonder if he’d been wrong. Not that he had evidence for either side quite yet, but it was in his nature to doubt himself before making a decision or opinion.

The boy sighed contentedly as his sister lay her head overtop of his mammoth skull. They fit together as they did in the womb, and would likely never lose their puzzle piece relationship. She spoke in hushed tones about the stars hearing them, or maybe she spoke about his plants. They could hear, but maybe they just couldn’t speak like wolves did. It wasn’t a very far stretch to agree.

”We should,” he agreed softly as he peeked one bright blue eye up towards her. ”I want you to introduce me.” Indigo would stay up that night to watch them if she wanted. ”I don’t have any of my own plants yet, but I like all of Aunty Io’s.” He confessed, and he wondered if the woman would help him to find or grow some of his own. She was already kind enough to let him hang out there. ”Especially the tree in the middle. It’s peaceful and quiet.”

His dark lips pulled back softly in a smile, he was most at ease with Asla even if he liked being with all of his siblings. She was a soft, sweet, and endearing presence that elicited only positive emotions. Indigo didn’t doubt himself near us much when she was beside him.
